Cannonball Fun is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 6.

Overview[edit]

Players pilot hovercrafts around an arena, firing cannonballs at each other. Each hovercraft has a cannon on the left and right sides, and the cannons fire alternately. When a player hits an opponent, that player earns a point. When a player is hit, that player is stunned for a moment. The first player to obtain five points wins. If nobody earns points within the time limit, the minigame ends in a tie.

In the end, the players line up, with the winner waving in their hovercraft.If a tie occurs, the players remain lined up, but none of them being in a hovercraft.
